Solid 12 hours of entertainment
The story wasn't very compelling, but some witty dialogs and references made up for it.

Hooked me in
I'm not a big fan of Point-n-Click games, but I enjoy a good one sometimes. Broken Sword DC really hooked me in and kept me playing until the end. I really like the Don Bluth-like animation and characters. The controls work well with no problems. The music is subtle and lets you focus on the game and doesn't distract you. The best part of the game is the story and puzzles. The base story of the Knights Templar is mysterious in its self and pulls you into the main story. The characters are very distinct from each other and likeable. It has great voice acting and character building. I also like the puzzles compared to many other point-n-click games. They are logical, so you'll be rewarded for actually figuring something out. I really felt like a detective when solving the interesting puzzles for example, the deciphering codes and combination lock. There were some minor complaints though. I didn't like the compressed grainy graphics on some parts. Some of the animations when you do an action becomes pixelated or jagged. It really breaks the flow of the atmosphere, quality and polish. The animations of the FMV were also jagged quality. For a Director's Cut, I think it should have had better quality animation or replaced with new polygon cut scenes. And that takes me to my next con. The mixing of new 2D animations/images and polygon cut scenes with the jagged FMV really makes the overall polish seem sloppy. I wish all of the cut scenes and animations were consistent quality and style. Overall, the game may not feel like a real director's cut, but is a great experience for its intresting story, characters, humor and puzzles.

One of my favorite games of all time
In my childhood, I played through Broken Sword 7 times. Got it on GOG as an adult and went through the Director's Cut remaster. The Nico additions were nice, but I didn't care for some pieces of changed dialogue. That aside: I have nothing but praise for this game. Story, characters, dialogue, art style, puzzles, mysteries, excitement, thrill, difficulty - all a 5! Nothing wrong, everything right. I love it. Must play. No Point'n'Click is as good at this (Longest Journey is #2, if curious ;) ) I recommend doing the original game first, before Director's Cut.

One of the Best
The only reason I came across this game was in 1998 when I had to take a video game back, I was so upset that I had to return a game I thought I was going to be upset for a long time about it. But I wasn't because I chose to get this game and I completely forgot the other game I had (It was the Blade Runner adventure game...lotta boobies) this game like the first fallout game was my childhood.

Comes with the original version!
I love Broken Sword. I've played every iteration of Broken Sword Shadow of The Templars that I can get my hands. I can't say that I don't like the Director's Cut, because I do. However this is getting 5 Stars purely because it comes with the original version of the game as well and not because of the additional DC content I would strongly reccommend that people consider playing the original version of this game first, which as mentioned is included with the DC version. Imo; Nico's additional parts feel kind of contrived and throw the pacing off at points. Which is a real shame as I personally love Nico but feel that the additional scenes in a way kind of detract from her as a character. That said, it's a good update, just perhaps uneccessary in places and something the BS2 HD remaster handles much better.
